Never heard of anybody doing that but, even then, I went through two or three bottles a night sometimes. 100 pounds doesn't go very far, especially if you're racing a lot. It's just a hassle.

676/577 on 8psi with a D1SC and I have plenty of fun with it. I wouldn't take the blower off of this car but I do want to get another f body or maybe a C7 and do a TT kit on it for versatility of having options.

I have never gotten 100 lbs out of any mother bottle. I am able to get 60-70 lbs roughly out of every mother bottle

I freeze bottles all the time to fill them. Its faster than pumping them. 2 or 3 bottles is 20-30 lbs. If you had a mother bottle you could refill 3 more bottles before needing a new mother bottle.
